Can anyone comment on how fast it is on macOS compared to Safari or Brave? On browserbench speedometer I'm getting 29.3 on Orion and 7.70 on Safari. I'd appreciate more comparisons.

> VLIW is not practical in time-sharing systems without completely rethinking the way cache works

Just curious as to how you would rethink the design of caches to solve this problem. Would you need a dedicated cache per execution context?

The only cipher there is AES, the rest are not.

Meanwhile in Europe it’s the opposite.

The people who make Microsoft Teams should learn from this.

Stuff like this is exactly why I come to Hacker News.

What’s that got to do with the number of authors?

> It’s like Go meets Java, but in a great way.

I am struggling hard to imagine how any greatness could be achieved from that. Can you say a bit more?

It at least supports SystemReady. Presumably any OS that is SystemReady compatible will just work?

Shocking how real this is.

> 150+ TrustZone CVEs, https://www.cve.org/CVERecord/SearchResults?query=trustzone

It’s important to note that most of those CVEs are to do with vulnerable software that manufacturers put in the TrustZone protected environment (many of which are garbage). There are very few vulnerabilities reported about the hardware itself.

Is there a way for a UK iPhone to circumvent the warning and enable ADP? Like connecting through a VPN?

> I think that the blocking of the deal by competition authorities shows the potential benefits of the deal (for Nvidia) in having control of Arm, in addition to making Arm-based SoCs, were real.

China was concerned about more US influence. The other regions were concerned about stifling of innovation. In reality, a successful acquisition would have meant that most customers would have started transitioning away from ARM and sooner to available RISC-V or Cadence/Synopsis solutions.

> Also, Rene Haas (ex Nvidia) became CEO of Arm after the deal fell through. Simon Segars was CEO when the deal was announced.

Rene Haas was EVP of the whole IP business (CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, etc) before becoming CEO. His influence with the CEO can't be understated.

I posit that this was an enormous gamble to boost valuations of both NVIDIA and ARM and that they knew from the beginning that the deal would not go through. Anyone who understands the ARM business model could have told you that.

The whole ARM acquisition attempt really smelt of subtle stock market games, because the alleged benefits of such a deal made no sense. With the Arm CEO being ex Nvidia I'm sure he was in on it. Looking forward to someone writing up an account of what really happened.

After two queries it became completely dysfunctional.

> Cyclone is no longer supported; the core research project has finished and the developers have moved on to other things. (Several of Cyclone's ideas have made their way into Rust.) Cyclone's code can be made to work with some effort, but it will not build out of the box on modern (64 bit) platforms).

> Why did they go with the 64 bit Arm core

ARM Cortex-M33 is a 32-bit core, not 64-bit.

> Not quite what I was imagining, but probably much simpler to implement than a Unix where the kernel can see processes running on different ISAs on a shared memory space.

Indeed. The other argument is that treating the computer as a distributed system can make it scale better to say hundreds of cores compared to a lock-based SMP system.

It's unfortunate that some sites only accept one Yubikey and not multiple.

> I'm not sure there is much research done in that space.

There is. And the finest example I can think of is Barrelfish https://barrelfish.org

Reminds me of F7 in the Windows Command Prompt.

Can anyone comment on the sustainability of resin?

> Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to such wonderful encrypted sales platform? Isn't it time to update the law and catch up with tech?

To me, this as ridiculous as saying "Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to the internet?". The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no substitute for good old fashioned (hard) police work.

He says he uses Vim, which is on the computer.

Looks great. How can I get it to automatically tile my windows without using a hot key?

It would be nice if backspace was allowed. There is no delete key on a Macbook keyboard.
